Webservers and especially PHP are often extremely unhappy to run on a network file system, dropping in performance by a factor like 10-20. Lighttpd with stat cache and Roadsend PHP is a setup that is fine on a network file system. Zend PHP will not perform well, due to stat() and open() calls for each and every request. > Alternatively, are there better ways of achieving what we are trying to do, > or are there alternatives to NFS that can be reliably load-balanced? GlusterFS. But what are you expecting from load balancing between the storage node. I cannot image that it buys you any better performance. -- Best regards, H.D.
